What is the legal age for playing poker in your place?

[Nomad]

Poker is a kind of gambling and many countries have age restrictions. In many countries, you need to be at least 18 years of age to enter a casino and play casino games, including poker. In some countries, it is 21 years. By the way, what is the legal age for playing poker, or gambling for that matter, in your place?

In Canada the legal age to play poker is 18. I've been playing online poker since I was 14. I started playing with my mother's name/information.

The government and most casinos say it is 18, some casinos only allow patrons who are over 21, and the streets say as long as you have money and know someone who can put you in a game you are good.

Table games are illegal here.

Of course, there are backrooms, but you have to know how to get in and they are very hard to find in the first place.

Well, in my region, the legal age for playing poker is 18. It caught across all kinds of casinos. Be it online or brick-and-mortar casinos. Police often go around to arrest the casino owners if they indulge in underage betting.

What I know is that age restrictions vary in different countries. In my home country,.I think it's 21. I know that most online poker sites often adhere to age verifications and that's fine!
